Australia is travel heaven, and if we had it our way, we’d be there all. the. time.
In fact, if “money were no object,” U.S. travelers would choose to visit Australia over almost every other country on Earth, according to TripAdvisor’s most recent Trip Barometer study.
And we can’t say we blame them. The Land Down Under is richer in flora, fauna, and attractive Oscar-nominated males. But those are just a few of the many reasons why, as far as we’re concerned, the Aussies have it better.
The Great Ocean Road, the Aussies’ seaside version of Route 66, takes you past some pretty stellar rock formations.
In Australia, there are creatures called fairy penguins. After they get home from long days at sea, you can visit their colonies by night.
There are more kangaroos than humans in Australia, which makes life more adorable. To deal with all those marsupials, experts have concocted kangaroo birth control and a national Kangaroo Management Plan. Another population control – sniffle, tear, sniffle – is the kangaroo burger.
Australians don’t sacrifice sustainability for tourism. Lord Howe Island, the most beautiful island of coral reefs, is only allowed to host 400 tourists at any given time, no matter how many want to come.
A bunch of lakes in Australia are pink, thanks to algae and prawns.
